Ten Jacksonville Players Score in Win Over Longwood

from press release

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – The last time the
Jacksonville University women’s lacrosse team posted a score
of 22-8, they defeated Detroit to claim the Atlantic Sun Tournament
Championship. Possibly foreshadowing another great season ahead,
the Green and Gold repeated the score against Longwood on
Saturday.

Ten Dolphins notched a goal in the game and Kaitlin Stewart
(Annapolis, Md.) went a perfect 4-for-4 to co-direct the Dolphins
in scoring. Taylor McCord (Jacksonville, Fla.) also knocked in four
scores to go alongside two assists while Holly Ventimiglia
(Medford, N. Y.) and Danielle Della Rocca (Mt. Sinai, N.Y.)
each added hat tricks.

Less than three minutes into the game, Ali Hoffman (Gambrills,
Md.) sent the ball pass the Longwood (1-4) keeper to record the
first goal of the game which kicked off a 10-0 run over a ten
minute span. The Lancers got on board at 15:38 when Mary Barondess
found Kacey Norwood but were already trailing 10-1 at the point. By
the half, the Dolphins (4-3) had raced to a 14-3 tip.

Out of the break, Longwood produced a quick goal in the first 1:15
of play but were never really able to find their bearings. Stellar
JU defense limited the Lancers to only nine shots in the frame.

Junior Asia Moore (Apex, N.C.) registered one save before handing
the reigns over to Mariah Cudlipp (Rochester, N.Y.)who made three
saves in the latter 30 minutes.

The Dolphins allowed a season-low 13 shots in the contest and
again won the ground ball (22-to-12) and draw control (24-to-8)
advantages.

Currently on a three-game winning streak, Jacksonville will look
to stamp four in a row when they travel to North Carolina on
Sunday, March 16 to face No. 6 Duke. The game is scheduled for 12
p.m.
